Her music is way before my time, but I Love 50's rockabilly and do-wop... I'm a big fan of Elvis, for example. This is very reminiscent of Elvis' early music style-wise, however the vocals are of course quite different. One thing that both vocalists share, however, is the "coolness" factor... these cats are "cool," plain and simple. This CD is great, it has a ton of songs on it and I really feel like I got my money's worth. The recording quality is great too... I once bought an old compilation of Buddy Holly and was shocked at how bad the mix was. The quality of this album is actually very good. Songs I like include "Hard Headed Woman," "I Gotta Know," and "Tongue Tied." 20 Year Secret Passion... I heard Wanda Jackson's fun-loving "Let's Have a Party" and the volcanic "Fujiyama Mama" on a compilation album nearly twenty years ago and never forgot her...<BR>To add to the previous reviews:<BR>Wanda Jackson also sings with tremendous humour, such as on Tongue Tied, where an otherwise articulate tough gal in Love resorts to gibberish to communicate her feelings.<BR>For passion and feeling, I think of Tunnel of Love, with its rollercoaster highs and lows. When Wanda Jackson sings the line "Like the walls of Jericho" one senses the walls collapsing.<BR>It's hard to play favourites on this album, there is so much good material. I Love Wanda, you will too. What can I say? This is one of the greatest musicians I have ever heard. I am a huge music lover. Hank Williams Sr. or Social Distortion. Rancid or Roy Orbison. I just respect and Love true music that comes from the heart.<BR> The first time I heard Wanda Jackson, it sent Chills down my spine. She is such a great vocalist and guitar Player that's gone virtually unoticed for many years. Overshadowed by Elvis and the male dominated rockabilly. Many music lovers have never heard of her. She deserves so much more recognition.<BR> Simply put, if you are reading this, you have somehow heard of Wanda Jackson. Don't think you can just walk into a music store and find this album anywhere. It is virtually impossible. You can't even special order. I know, I tried. Buy this album now or any Wanda album, you will not regret it.
